    Cucumber Raita Recipe for Toddlers and Kids

    Cucumber Raita - easy raita made in Kerala style with cucumber, curd and grated coconut which goes well with paratha, roti, pulao and variety rice. Cucumber raita is ideal for babies from one year. I usually make simple cucumber raita without coconut, but this time for Onam (a festival celebrated in Kerala, South India), I tried with coconut and it was equally good. This cucumber raita is known as cucumber pachadi in Kerala and offered as one of the main item for onam sadya/feast.

    Here is how to make cucumber raita recipe for toddlers and kids.
